Biography

Hashimoto was born in Japan but moved to the UK when she was six months old. She attended the Junior Department of the Royal College of Music before starting at the Purcell School where she studied with Michael Collins who then continued to teach her at the Royal Academy of Music. Whilst she was at the Academy, Anna was awarded the Associated Board Scholarship amongst several other prizes including the Leverhulme Scholarship, Buffet Crampon Clarinet Prize, and Regency Award on graduation. After completion of her studies, she was awarded a Meaker Fellowship in 2011 and then in 2014, she was made an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music.[4] She was the winner of the International Clarinet Competitions in Kortrijk (Belgium) in 2010, in Carlino (Italy) in 2009, and the Young Clarinettists Competition in Tokyo in 2003. She has played concertos with orchestras such as the English Chamber Orchestra,[5] Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra, Filharmonie Hradec Kralove, Japan Philharmonic, New Japan Philharmonic, Nagoya Philharmonic, and the Chamber Orchestra of the NHK Symphony. Anna has been broadcast on NHK TV and FM, FM Tokyo, ABC Radio and BBC Radio 3, including BBC Radio3's 'In Tune',[6] NHK-FM's 'Best of Classic' and NHK TV's 'Classic Club' (in a joint recital with Michael Collins).

In addition to her work as a soloist, she is also an active chamber musician and a member of the Atėa Quintet who are Associate Ensemble in Residence at the Birmingham Conservatoire.[7] Anna also has performed chamber music collaborations with artists such as Michael Collins, Leon McCawley and Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, and string quartets such as Solstice, Alberni, Ciurlonis, Kodály and Prazak Quartets.

As an orchestral player she has been guest principal with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and is currently on trial as principal clarinet of the Philharmonia.

gollark: People should probably consider privacy more seriously than most actually *do*, at least. A lot of people say they care a bit but then ignore it.
gollark: <@126590786945941504> Maybe they should.

gollark: I am leaving off the second half so as not to fill more than a screen or so.
gollark: No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
